Looking for a gift for that creative kid age 6-9ish? Sign them up for this! (and I will give you a crafty hand-made gift certificate)
Do you know a child that has flair for performing? Are they always entertaining you and the guests? playing dress-up? creating dances? making costumes?
Send them me to hone those skills and passions!
We will practice and play with rhythm and melody, tap dancing, and physical theatre. The games and exercises in this class are designed to be fun while promoting physical and emotional awareness, listening skills as well as connection to self and to others.
I’d like this to be accessible.. so, if you feel this is out of your budget, or have more than 1 kid.. Lets negotiate!
About the instructor~
Candy Roberts was the 2014 recipient of the Mayor’s Arts Award for her work in creativity and community. She might just be Vancouver’s only tap-dance ukulele instructor and is the band leader of the critically acclaimed Myrtle Family Band. After 10 years plus of writing, producing and clowning with Jessie Award nominated Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret Society, Candy ventures forward as Artistic Director of Candy Bones Theatre, a platform for producing original solo works. Candy Bones Theatre presents; IDEAS BOBERT: a multi-media physical comedy show, and CANDY BONES: a one woman sketch comedy!
Festival of Hallows
I’ve been working with the Gathering Place Community Centre in creating a fun and meaningful Halloween Event that partners with the Mexican Consulate and outreach services of the Vancouver downtown area. We have been creating workshops and presentations about different traditions in honouring loved ones who’ve passed on. This event is a multi-cultural sharing that will have Mexican, First Nations, Guatemalan, and Celtic traditions shared. We would like this festival to grow to include as many cultures and heritages that are interested in participating.
Workshops facilitated by Mexican and Guatemalan Artists in creating personal and community shrines are happening over the next two weeks at Directions Youth Services, Coast Health, Inner City Youth, Positive Living and the Gathering Place. All communities, cultures and heritages are invited to create and bring memorials that reflect their own traditions and honour their ancestors and loved ones who’ve passed on.
We have a First Nations artist creating a community shrine at the Gathering place. The Mexican consulate is creating a memorial to the lives lost in the recent earthquake, and Positive Living is bringing an AIDS memorial. These as well as the community shrines created through the workshops. People are encouraged to bring their own personal or community shrines or a photo of a loved one whose passed on.
On Tuesday the 31st, all of these community built shrines will be installed together, with flowers and candles and an opportunity people to interact with the installation, by lighting a candle, or writing a note, or bringing a photo. There will also be a mariachi band, a candle lit labyrinth, free food, candy, and a procession for the dead, through the downtown core with the carnival band, rolling shrines and giant puppets.
Hope to see you there!
